Ashore. My niece stared at it for a bit and recognized the correct clues.

On shore.. that was a long and shark-infested swim! A tall Smithwicks would perk me right up, I think.

On shore! This one was the perfect level of difficulty for me, I felt like I earned it.

Totally stumped early on. Set it down for a few hours, then as soon as I pick it up again I quickly make my way to shore. I did grab a to go drink from Isaac for my wade to the shore. These friendly waters are considered a social district, right?

I dunno that this one was wildly difficult—or maybe I just got lucky?*…but what a fantastic construction!
*As my dad used to say, “Every once in a while, even a blind squirrel gets a nut…”
Of course, he also likes, “the early bird gets the worm,” but I’ve always appreciated the response, “Yes…but the second mouse gets the cheese.”
I can’t seem to think of any pithy rabbit-based sayings, so I think I should just stop there.

Haven't gone beyond printing the puzzle, but I am on the beach near this little hill.

Ashore. Beer me. I almost never get this style of meta but something caught my eye.

Ashore... Got the hook at 4:20 but had to leave for a meeting at 4:30. This is retirement?? Great meta.
